Hasidut untuk Imamat 6:5

The fire on the altar shall be kept burning, not to go out, etc.: And the idea is that Adam, the first man, saw from one end of the world to the other with the light of the six days of creation. But after he sinned, the light disappeared; that is He hid for the righteous in the future to come. As in the beginning, before the sin, the light was revealed; whereas after the sin, it was clothed in the garments with which He clothed the light. That is that the light is clothed within the Torah. And this is [the meaning of]: And the Lord, etc. made garments of skins [or] (Genesis 3:21). But in Rabbi Meir's Torah, it was written, garments of light [ohr], with an aleph. Yet that is difficult: Is it not that if an aleph replaces an ayin, the Torah is disqualified? So either way — either our Torah is disqualified, or Rabbi Meir's Torah is disqualified. But it can be said it is since Rabbi Meir's name was Nehorai [giver of light], as he would enlighten the eyes of the sages about the law. That is that the Torah that Rabbi Meir wrote by way of a scribe was written with an ayin [or], like our Torah. However Rabbi Meir's Torah is that which he taught the people of his generation and enlightened their eyes. This means that he taught them how to arrive at the hidden light within the Torah. For since it is clothed in garments, not everyone is able to arrive at the hidden light. So Rabbi Meir would teach the people of his generation and enlighten their eyes to [know how] to arrive at the hidden light.

And through this one can understand "a perpetual fire shall be kept burning on the altar" (Leviticus 6:6). At the beginning is was warning for the kohanim that they are the seekers of the welfare of the faithful in Israel, and now, there is a warning for the common folk that they are actually the 'common', which bring a regular fire, so that they will cause "a perpetual fire to be kept burning", which are the seekers of welfare of the faithful in Israel. And this that is written "it shall not go out" (Leviticus 6:5) is that they should cause the burning out of the flames of the service to God that the seekers of the welfare for the faithful in Israel, as it is written "that the faithful have vanished, that the loyal are no more" (Ps. 12:2). And this is easy to understand.
